Artist's Comments
One of our heroes. Louis Riel was a fighter, he was also an beautiful poet. One of his pieces was written 2 weeks leading up to his execution.
Robert Gordon! I beg your pardon For so having Kept you waiting After some poor verses of mine. You know, my English is not fine. I speak it; but only Very imperfectly. The snow, Which renders the ground all white, From heaven, comes here below: Its pine frozen drops invite Us all To white-keep your thoughts and our acts, So that when our bodies do fall, Our merits, before God, be facts. How many who, with good desires, Have died and lost their souls to fires? Good desires kept unpractic’d Stand, before God, unnotic’d O, Robert, Let us be fond Of Virtue! Virtues abound In every sort of good, Let virtue be our soul’s food. Louis “David” Riel. October 27, 1885 Regina Jail |

 reports, 1d 22h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.66 Inspirational Photography Desember*Sortvind
